A/N: Carpenter's are awesome!! Thanks for your reviews!! I am so glad I made Albus into an evil man!
At around six in the morning Wizard time, Harry came into the hospital ward to check on his mother.
"Potter," Severus whispered.
"Hi Uncle," said Harry as he went over to his mother's side. "Has she waken up yet?"
"No," said Severus.
"This reminds of the time Ms. Figgs took me to the hospital. I nearly had pneumonia," sighed Harry as he sat on the edge of Minerva's bed. "Stupid Dursleys." "Those memories still haunt you?" asked Severus. "I thought they went away a long time ago."
"They never really do," said Harry. "I only pretended that they did so mum could sleep and not worry about me all the time. It also helped me sleep." "Harry, there is no shame in having nightmares," said Severus as he let out another cough from the stunners. "I have them too. Most of them are about my father abusing my mother and I. Sometimes, they are about your mother telling me that my father killed my mother with her own wand."
"Oh Merlin!" said Harry.
"Don't get me wrong, what the Dursleys did to you made it seem like a pleasure cruise of what my father did to mum and I. I sometimes go down to Spinners' End with the intention of blowing that place up, but my mother would not want it that way."
Minerva let out a small exhale and Harry turned around and looked at her.
"Mum?" said Harry.
Minerva shifted her head to the left and then to the right.
"Minnie?" said Severus.
Minerva opened her eyes slightly and saw Harry.
"Mum!" said Harry bent over and kissed her forehead. "I'll go get Aunt Poppy and let her know that you are all right."
Harry left Minerva and Severus alone to get Poppy.
Minerva noticed that she was hooked up to a trachea and breathalyzer, but she was too weak to pull the trachea out and Severus was took weak to get out of the bed.
"Everything is all right, Minerva," he smiled. "I'm here now, I promise."
Poppy and Harry came back in and Poppy removed the trachea from Minerva.
"Hello Min, see we are awake," said Poppy. "Do you remember what happened?"
"Albus stunned Severus and then he took me, tied me up to the bed, threatened my son's life, and then I passed out," said Minerva.
"That's the gist of it," said Poppy.
"Oh no!" said Minerva. "Oh Merlin! Harry, we are no longer safe here, I'm afraid. Son, we have to move you somewhere else safe."
"Is it because of our enemies?" asked Harry.
"Yes, now go to the common and pack your trunk now! You'll stay with my sister Athena until the end of the term and then I will enroll you in Shiz, Kildareny, or that American Wizarding School: Longacre.
"Mum, this is my home!" said Harry. "If they know about this in the British Wizarding world, then I am sure they know about it in the other worlds." "Harry, I just do not want anything to happen to you," said Minerva.
"I took a down a troll last night, didn't I?" smirked Harry.
"Harry Potter how dare you get smart with me!" said Minerva.
"Mum, I am not getting smart with you," said Harry. "Minerva, the boy is better off staying here since everybody knows about it," said Severus.
"Well, I better go," said Harry as he kissed his mother's forehead. "I'll see you later. Bye mum."
Harry left the hospital wing to go to class.
"Minerva, I have to tell you something," said Severus as he tried to get out of bed, but Poppy pushed him back into the bed.
"Stay in bed," said Poppy.
"Poppy, I need to talk to Minerva in private," said Severus.
"I'll leave you two alone," smiled Poppy as she left the room.
"Minerva, there is something I want to tell you," said Severus as he coughed from his chest pain. "Just hear me out and take in mind that we both almost died last night. Love, look at the two of us, strangers in many ways. Let's take a lifetime to say 'I knew you well'. For only time, will tell it so and love may grow, for all we know."
Minerva looked at Severus and smiled. She did not think she should be in a relationship because she did not want to neglect Harry when he needed her the most. Right now, there were groups of people searching for her and him and she had to focus on hiding him from the death eaters and You-Know-Who.
Minerva could not let herself fall into absolute pleasure for her own selfish needs. Yes, it had been years since she was with a man.
Minerva looked at Severus.
"Severus, what about Harry?" asked Minerva.
"I think he will be fine with it," said Severus. "I want to be the father he never had."
"Severus, I am much older than you," said Minerva.
"So?" said Severus. "I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Let me think about this, give me time, please," said Minerva as she turned around in her bed facing away from Severus. She fell back asleep and thought about that horrific night she lost the Potters in that terrible tragedy and many other horrific events.
